I’m tired of this party loyalty. I don’t understand these politicians who say, “I don’t approve of Donald Trump, but I have to support my party’s nominee. I have to remain loyal to my party.” They should vote with a clear conscience — and their loyalty should lie with the people who elected them for representation.

I certainly don’t feel that I owe any loyalty to a party that somehow — and seemingly against its will and better judgment — allowed a man such as Donald Trump to become its nominee. For 57 years, I was a registered member of the party of Lincoln. Thanks to Donald Trump, I am no longer.

“Oh my!” these politicians say, “without complete unity, the GOP will become divided. The Republican party will split asunder, to be no more!” I don’t think so. But if so, then so be it. Perhaps it’s time.

Certainly, one is entitled to his or her choice of a presidential candidate. But I don’t understand the blind, follow-off-a-cliff, sometimes unreasonable, sometimes laughable so-called loyalty that some Trump followers exhibit. One even going so far as to wander off into a land of make-believe, comparing Trump to JFK. Do I hear a far off rumble? That has to be JFK spinning in his grave.

I am not happy with this three-ring circus of a presidential election. I am left to feel I have to vote for the lesser of two evils. But without hesitation, before I would cast a vote for a pompous center-ring clown such as Donald Trump, I would write in Daffy Duck.
